This morning, in a clash with the police,
a drug peddler named Babloo was killed,

and another peddler, Montoo, was arrested.

Both were nephews of drug lord Omi Chawla.

Hey, stop right there! Where's Omi?

I don't know any Omi.

The police had received a tip-off that

Montoo and Babloo were in the city
for a huge drug deal.

Babloo!

The police have also recovered
a large quantity of drugs from them.

And we're hopeful that Omi too
will be in our custody very soon.

One by one, please. One by one.

Sir, besides Montoo and Babloo, there are…

TRUTH ALONE TRIUMPHS

There was a lot of
cough syrup in Kiki's body.

She must have drank it by mistake.

Did you give her cough syrup
to keep her out of your hair?

None of your business. Don't judge me.

We found drugs in your room, Julie.
In a blue bag and in large quantities.

I have got nothing to do with it.
That is Sundar.

Is Sundar a peddler?

-You also do drugs, right?
-Never.

Really? Then what is your
connection with their drug trade?

You better tell me,
Julie, and tell me now!

I have nothing more to tell you!
You have to tell me, where is Aimee?

Thousands of years ago, he was inside.

Then 19 years back, he came out.

Now, he's out again.

-What could be the reason, didi?
-Who knows?

The story of the Leopard-Man was told
to my grandmother by her grandmother.

What is the story, didi?

In the jungle…

-Kamala!
-Yes?

Madam's PA will have breakfast here.

Okay, Nandan sir.

Yeah, so gossip less and work more.

Thank you, ma'am.

-Have breakfast and go.
-Yes, ma'am.

-Nandan?
-I've told them, madam.

Nandan.

-The dead body was found on the tree?
-Yes, madam.

Madam, something like this
can only be done by the Leopard-Man.

-Nandan!
-Yes, madam.

-There was a lunar eclipse the day before.
-What nonsense is that?

What if Manhas was behind all this?

What are the police saying?

Sir, the police? I haven't had
a proper chance to speak to the police.

Sir, everyone in town is saying
that this was the Leopard-Man's doing.

You can't even do one thing properly!

Now he's talking about the Leopard-Man.

Sir, possible that this rumor was started
by Jagdamba herself?

She doesn't know
we have one more trick up our sleeve.

How can we tell the police

that the dead body
shouldn't have been on the tree?

We won't say anything.

But someone else
could inform the police, right?

Phulwari!

Nilima? Excuse me.

Phulwari!

What… Do you want something?

Relax.

-Dad, Ravi? Is Ravi there?
-He's there. Go and get Ravi.

Go and get him!

Mr. Parashar?

Mr. Parashar?

Mr. Parashar, they're calling you.

-Jai Hind, sir!
-Move!

-Tell us something, sir!
-Stay away.

-Sir, tell us something!
-What's the latest?

Our men are working, sir.

-Stay away!
-Did you get something else from the room?

Two mobile phones that had no SIM cards,
some clothes, and a half-eaten pizza.

Ask Forensics to test that pizza as well.

We already did that.

-The testing?
-Yes.

We fed it to the dog.

-To the dog?
-Yes.

He wagged his tail after eating.

-Where's the watchman?
-Madam found him.

-He's being interrogated.
-Who is this madam?

-Madam? Our SHO madam, sir.
-What?

You fucking idiot!
You didn't see the girl leave the hotel?

If you don't use your eyes,
then donate them to a blind man.

Madam, she couldn't have left the hotel.
I was manning its gates the whole night.

What were you doing?

You were sleeping, right?
I'm gonna teach you…

Is there any other way out of here?
A tunnel or something?

This window net is broken.
She might have escaped from here.

That could happen.

Are you looking for this?

You found this already.

I had said it earlier too,
that woman's a liar.

She's hiding something.

Hey!

What places did Julie used to visit?

Madam, they would always go eat
at Cafe Sironah,

or they would order food from there.

Are you in the mood for pizza?

Take this. This is for you. Go now.

Thank you, uncle.

-How are you, bhabi?
-I'm good, thanks.

-Greetings, Mr. Govind.
-Hello, madam.

This is Mr. Govind.

He is the owner of Cafe Sironah.
Everyone knows him.

He is like family.

Thanks for the family introduction,
Ms. Kasturi. I'll handle it from here.

Please speak with the Inspector now.
I'll go and chat with bhabi.

Sure.

Hey, Rewa!

Mr. Govind.

You must have heard
about Aimee Baptiste's murder by now.

I did hear about it.

It's very sad. She was a very sweet girl.

They had arrived in Sironah
about eight or ten days back.

-They would visit the cafe occasionally.
-Did you see anything worth reporting?

Actually, they came here to eat
the day before yesterday.

I told you,
I'm not your fucking babysitter.

And you go
straight back to your room. Now!

Fuck you, no!
I'm gonna go out there and find him

and tell him not to give you any money.

Julie.

And then, sir, that man paid the bill
and left as well.

He was a little shrewd, sir.

Is that so?

This is Mr. Govind's wife, Rewa.

-Hello.
-Biscuits.

Thank you.

These are orange cookies.

-Manoj really likes them, right?
-Yes.

Did you know Aimee?

Not too well.

I had only met her a couple of times.

-Anything else?
-No, nothing.

That's all.

-Are you sure?
-Yes.

Aimee was also wearing this on her wrist.

Yeah, actually…

I had only gifted it to her.

I'm the only one in Sironah
who makes these. Kids love these bands.

And you like kids?

Who doesn't like kids, sir?

You don't like kids?

You give scoobies to all the kids?

-You're misunderstanding--
-I'm talking, Ms. Kasturi.

One minute.

The day before yesterday,
when I was closing up the cafe, I saw her.

She was alone.

I just remembered it, sir.

-You remembered this a little too late.
-Yes.

-Which way was the girl going?
-This way.

-Show me the CCTV footage.
-We don't have CCTV cameras.

He is our very own live CCTV camera.

A girl lost her life
and you want to joke around?

She didn't mean to say…

-Okay, Mr. Govind, I'll leave now.
-Okay.

All right, bhabi.

If you need be, you might have to
come to the police station.

-For questioning.
-Okay.

Sir. What if this is
that Leopard-Man's doing--

-All that is nonsense.
-No, sir. Leopard-Man exists.

Half Man Half Leopard.

This Leopard-Man had killed nine women--

This Leopard-Man story
is a concocted tale.

Why don't you guys understand?

It's a bloody rumor and nothing else!

Let's go.

Death was due to asphyxiation.

The cause of death could be hanging?

It could be.

Or after the murder,
they could've hung the dead body.

And these marks?

They look like the scratch marks
left by some wild animal.

Could be the Leopard-Man's, sir.

You are a doctor.

You believe in these fables too?

When did she die?

Day before yesterday,
between 12:30 a.m. and 1:00 a.m.

She has some marks on her hand.

Obviously, if she was raped, there must
have been a struggle, which left marks.

Rape? Was she raped?

I didn't mention that? That's strange.
The evidence suggests rape.

Any other details?

I mean, details… The girl was a virgin.

Whether she was raped by one or more men,

that can be determined
only after the DNA and semen reports.

By when?

Analysis isn't carried out here.

That is done at
the civil hospital in Himmat Nagar.

The reports will come
from there in seven or eight days.

Doctor, the reports
can be emailed, or faxed…

This is Sironah, sir.
It has its own way of working.

That means there's no proper way.

Okay, I'll do one thing.
I will send the preliminary reports.

Okay? Happy?

Malti, please tell Gagan
he doesn't need to go and meet Kanti.

Is that clear?

Sir. Sir.

Ramsaran!
Is everything okay with your chemo?

Yes, sir.

Sir, I had spoken to you
about a job for Bunty.

Ramsaran, I told you, nothing can be done
if he has not completed class 12th.

Only if he studies well
will he become a better human.

Do you like the pastry?

-Where is Mama?
-She'll be here in some time.

Kiki, do you know this man?

-Sundar, my mama's boyfriend.
-Right.

And her?

Aimee, my sister. Where is she?

You tell me. When did you
see her last, the night before?

-Did she tell you where she was going?
-No.

After dinner,
Mama gave me medicine, and I felt sleepy.

I think, after that, Aimee left.

Good night, mon chéri.

Where is she?
What happened to her? Where is my mama?

We will tell you, dear.

Tell me something,
did Aimee and Mama fight all the time?

Inspector, we should let her be.

Kiki will be with us in Delhi
until things are sorted.

We are available on the telephone.
Is there anything else?

No, thank you.

Goodbye, Kiki.

Why did you print out Mr. Govind's photo?

-How can you suspect him?
-Any reason not to?

Because he makes good orange cookies?

You will really need
all the good luck for this.

I'm still saying
Julie has a big role in this case.

If you hadn't stopped me,
I would've slapped her--

Why stop at slapping?
You should kill her instead.

Tell her that her daughter's body
was found hanging from a tree.

Also, tell her
that she was raped before being murdered.

This news itself might kill her.

What happened? Go.

-Nutan.
-Sorry.

That girl gave you this scoobie, right?

-Which girl?
-The girl who was murdered.

Aimee Baptiste.

-You told me that she gave you this.
-Yeah…

I had taken them
on tour a couple of times.

To the mountains, the jungle,
the Goddess' temple.

Then swear on the Goddess, Bunty.

Did something happen
between you and that girl?

Don't ruin my mood
with all these ridiculous questions.

I'm ruining your mood? Me?

I sent you that video to uplift your mood.

No reaction. Nothing at all.

-It was good.
-"Good"?

Okay. Hot.

Very hot.

Okay, it's time for Dad's medicine.
I need to leave.

Do you know anything
about her murder, Bunty?

You study. I will… I'll call later.

Sir, these are the documents.

-We'll need to keep your passport.
-Are you arresting me?

Please sign here.

Don't worry,
your younger daughter will be fine.

The embassy will take care of Kiki.

Big age gap between Aimee and Kiki.

Different fathers.

Did Aimee fight with you about her father?

About not having one.

Where is he?

I wish I knew.
I don't even know who he was.

Aimee did drugs?

Never. She hated drugs
more than she hated me.

Why did she hate you?

Because I did drugs.

You were born in Pondicherry.

I was fortunate enough to have a father.
He was based in Pondicherry.

You met Sundar there, in Pondicherry?

Yes. Where is he?

We're looking for him.
Let us know if you hear from him, okay?

-So, you're not arresting me?
-No, I'm not.

But you can't leave Sironah
until the time we tell you.

Julie, I'm really sorry
about your daughter.

-Ms. Lajjo, drop Julie at the Taj Lodge.
-Okay, sir.

Mr. Angad, do you think it makes sense
to inform the Pondicherry police?

It makes sense.
Mr. Rana, inform the Pondicherry police.

Okay, sir.

You should've checked
the mother and the daughter's DNA.

DNA?

She said she is the mother,
and we believed her?

The French government believes that.

The mother's name is on
the daughter's passport. Only her name.

There are no fake passports in France?

She has lost a daughter,
Ms. Kasturi. Her daughter.

You don't become a parent
just by giving birth, Mr. Angad.

You have to be responsible too.

And that's why
you've taken one year off, right?

Please let me do my job, Ms. Kasturi.

TAJ LODGE

Yes, brother?

Okay. That's fine.

This is it! My leave begins today.

Starting now, I won't step foot
into the police station for a year.

Once you clear the IIT entrance exam,
get admitted there,

only then will I return to work.

I promise.

I had heard that people take time out
from their work for their families.

Here, the family members
are sneaking into their workplace.

This is called swimming against the tide.

Hey, stop your nonsense!

At least someone is
brave enough to swim, understand?

And police work is not merely a job.
It's a high, like being in love.

And you've never been
high enough, or in love. So, shut up!

So, gentlemen, you like it?

-This will be the biggest project--
-We've been waiting for half an hour.

-Excuse me.
-Yeah, sure.

Sir, the investors
are saying that it's late.

So call Ravi once more.

Sir, the network
is unreachable. I tried a lot.

What?

This resort is your brainchild,

you called the investors here,
and made them wait for half an hour?

I had gone to Bom.

-For what?
-To find out about Aimee.

Have you lost your mind?

You have to take over
my political responsibilities.

I'm talking to the party
for an MP ticket for you,

and you're caught up in all this?
Focus on your work.

And don't look worried, okay? Please.

They found Aimee's body
hanging from a tree.

So? The police is
conducting an inquiry, right?

Why are you worrying?

The investors are waiting.

Go.

-Sorry, guys, to keep you waiting.
-No problem, sir.

-Mishra?
-Sir.

Call Bom and find out
what was he asking around.

Yes, sir.

Mr. Rana, did you find out
Sundar's whereabouts?

All the district police stations
have been notified, sir.

-Sundar and Julie's call detail records?
-It takes time to get the CDR, sir.

-What doesn't take time here, Mr. Rana?
-Reports, sir.

Dr. Joshi sent these. Preliminary reports
of Aimee's post-mortem.

There were roofies in her blood?
Where do the foreigners go for drugs here?

For locally-grown cannabis,
they go to the mountains,

and Hotel Bom for foreign drugs.

Get the car ready.

Hotel Bom is the property of Mr. Manhas.

Yeah, so?

So, no one can set foot there
without his permission.

And the police?

Let's go.

-Excuse me.
-Good morning, sir.

-Are you the manager?
-Yes, sir.

Do you know her?

I had seen her a couple of days back.

-Here? Was she alone?
-No.

-Kanti. She was with Kanti Dhumal.
-Kanti Dhumal?

Sir, he is our minister madam's son.

Yes, Bahadur, talk to me.

What will I do with the tip-off?
I've taken a year's leave of absence.

Leave it. No.

What happened, Mom?

You can't sauté the onions
with the stove off.

What… How did I forget?

Mom, that's the wrong knob.

Your focus is completely off.

Darling, this is the first time
there's been such a big case in Sironah.

And I wonder
how that new inspector will manage.

No one knows Sironah in and out
the way I do.

And I've taken a year's leave of absence.

Mom, if you want to go
and look into it, please go.

Seriously, go.

-Was there anyone else, or just Kanti?
-Sir, the two of them were dancing, but…

I didn't pay attention to anyone else.

CCTV footage,

from the evening before yesterday,
the 12th of November, till now.

-We don't have CCTV cameras here.
-Are you joking?

The guests that
come here are so high profile--

The drugs are high profile, too.
Roofies, meth, coke and what else?

-Yes, sir.
-We received a tip-off.

Sundar has been spotted
at Ashok Mayur Lodge.

Listen, Angad, there is too much pressure.
We have to close this case.

First we need to figure out
what the case is, sir.

Arrest Sundar.

He is Julie's boyfriend.
He must have done something.

Right, sir.

This man?

-Yeah, he's here.
-Room number?

-He's in 118, sir.
-Is he in there?

-Yeah, but--
-But what?

Two people went to meet him just now.

Shit! Let's go downstairs.

Let's go.

ASHOK MAYUR LODGE

Who were the two people who went upstairs?

-Sir, it was a lady and a man.
-Age? Description?

The lady was about
35-40 years old. She looked like you.

I mean, she was a policewoman.

-And the man with her, he was old?
-Yes.

Let's go.

Come on, give him the fritters too.

Come in, Mr. Angad.

Would you like to have
spinach fritters? They're very famous.

How did you find him?

Sundar?

I haven't whiled away
15 years in this police station.

How did you arrest him?

I got a tip-off, from Bahadur.

When we got there, he was planning to
escape using a rope made of bedsheets.

We climbed down and picked up that doofus.

You could've called me.

Yeah! I forgot that I was not on duty.

Do one thing.

Let's conduct the interrogation together.
Come on.

-Let's go, then.
-Come.

Sir, I swear I didn't do anything.

Pondicherry police sent
a list of your misdemeanors.

-Drug peddler, sex offender…
-I sell drugs, sir.

I like white women, but I swear,
I didn't do anything wrong with Aimee.

Go on, tell me the whole story.

If you lie, we will shoot
and bury you in the cannabis fields.

You also know that no one's
waiting for you in Pondicherry.

What?

-A cigarette please, sir.
-I'll give you one tight slap.

Start talking!

Sir, actually, that night…

Aimee was insisting
on going to the disco at Hotel Bom.

So Julie flatly refused her.

And she locked the door
from the inside so she couldn't go out.

The door was locked from inside,
but I don't know how Aimee got out.

Julie was completely high, sir.
Fully stoned.

I was very worried.

That's why I took off
to look for Aimee on my own.

I found Aimee outside Hotel Bom.
She was in a very bad state.

Someone had raped her in the club.

Go on.

She said that
the guy was there in the club,

so I took Aimee and went outside--

Who was this guy?

She pointed to a guy and when I looked,
I immediately recognized him.

His photo was
in the newspapers with the headline,

"Minister's son out on parole--"

Kanti Dhumal?

-You know Kanti?
-No.

But the night of murder,
maybe Kanti was with Aimee--

Not "maybe," sir…

Not "maybe." He was with her, sir.

I saw him, really.
I was completely frozen with fear.

I was like, "This is the Minister's son…"

Sorry, madam.

I thought, "Let's run from here."
I took Aimee and left from there.

So his men came after me and said,
"Hey, leave her here,

otherwise we'll cut you into pieces."

And then--

Asshole! You left that girl
with those bastards?

What could I have done?
They were too many…

Did you tell this to Julie?

They threatened me that if I utter a word,
they'll kill me.

Sir, I was truly scared.
That's why I went into hiding.

But the minute I heard
that Aimee's been murdered,

I thought that
the police would catch me first.

That's why I'm here, sir.

The people who threatened you,
would you be able to describe them?

What, sir?

The people who threatened you,
would you be able to describe them?

There were disco lights, sir,

and on top of that, I was high--

No, if I see them now,
I'll surely recognize them.

But I am telling you, sir,
they were Kanti Dhumal's men.

-Please believe me--
-He is taking Kanti Dhumal's name?

Oh, my God.

Kanti's already serving sentence
on a rape charge.

But who are those people
who kidnapped Aimee from Hotel Bom?

We won't find anything from Bom.
That's Manhas' lair.

We'll have to
go to the prison. To meet Kanti.

Looks like you both
finally agreed to work together.

Very good.

If Ms. Kasturi wants to
cancel her leave, I can't stop her.

But I will lead this investigation
and this needs to be clear to the team.

Of course, you will.
What do you say, Kasturi?

Yeah, sir, let's see.

-Definitely, sir.
-Good.

I have no idea how to tackle Kanti.

Give it some time, he will come around.

No. He…

He doesn't want to understand.

You know very well that I left
no stone unturned in his upbringing.

I've given him everything.

After Mahesh died, I tried my best
to be a mother and a father to him.

But he thinks that whatever I'm doing
is for my political career.

That I sacrifice him for everything.

I don't understand,
please tell me what should I…

I don't think that…
he should've been out on parole.

What has happened, Jagdamba?

Bhaiya…

I need a favor from you.

Actually, I need a favor from Gagan.

That Sundar's lying for sure.

He'll spill everything
after ten minutes of beatings.

Ms. Kasturi, please sit down.

This is the 21st century, ma'am.
Can we move on from beating people up?

-Like how?
-Like following the law.

Take custody
from the court in the drug case.

If we interrogate him
in front of Julie, he'll speak the truth.

-Oh, really?
-Yes.

And right now, we have
nothing more than a drug case on him.

Here it is, madam.
All your things have come back.

-Shall I arrange them?
-No, I will do it.

-Okay.
-Please, switch on the TV.

Sure.

TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTS

In breaking news today,
let's look at the Sironah murder case.

Here's a special report by your
very own news channel, Aawaz News.

The body found hanging on a tree
in the jungles of Sironah

has been identified as that of 19-year-old
French national, Aimee Baptiste.

Our senior correspondent Renuka Singh
has secured the post-mortem report

from the Civil Hospital in Sironah,

which clearly mentions
that the murder took place 48 hours back,

and that the girl was raped
before being murdered.

Aimee's mother, Julie Baptiste
came to Sironah as a tourist

with Aimee and her younger daughter, Kiki.

Our sources have revealed
that Julie Baptiste is a drug addict,

and came to Sironah
with her Indian boyfriend.

The news
of Aimee Baptiste's rape and murder

has gripped Sironah
in an atmosphere of fear,

refreshing the horrific memory of 2000,

when nine women were
similarly raped and murdered in Sironah,

and their bodies were found
hanging from a tree.

There were reports that leopard
claw-marks were found on all the bodies.

Despite all of the efforts by the police,

the killer was never caught

and many rumors
floated around about the case.

Many people believe that
behind these horrifying series of murders

is the predator from the jungle,
the Leopard-Man.

LEOPARD-MAN

If you love police work so much,
then why this pretense, Kasturi?

How would it affect Nutan?

Nutan and Manoj said nothing to me.

Don't undermine
the kids' silence, Kasturi.

A 19-year-old girl,
the same age as our Nutan,

was raped and murdered.

Solving her case is my responsibility.

Once that happens,
I will come back to my kids.

And you don't care about me at all?

Right?

Caring for someone
is a two-way street, right, Hari?

-Sir!
-Move them away!

Everyone, get back!

Move! Move back!

Please give an answer, sir.
Any comments on the case?

Move it! Okay, stay back!

Let's go!

Sundar! Sir, look at… Sundar!

Sundar, what happened?

-Sir…
-Sundar!

-Shit!
-Sundar! Madam!

Sundar!

Negi, call an ambulance right now!
